The 1966 astronaut selectees from Edwards AFB pose in front of an F-104 on April 6, 1966. Left to right: Fred Haise, Ed Mitchell, Charlie Duke, Al Worden and Joe Engle. Thanks to Tony Landis for the photo.

Great pic Ed.

Just a curious observation and of no great consequence, but I wonder if there is some hidden psychological significance in the fact that the only moon walkers in the picture are both standing with their right foot forward?

...and the the ones scheduled to walk on the Moon, but did not, are wearing jackets.

And the ones not wearing overalls have belts on their trousers!!

And the ones that are in the Air Force are not in the Navy.

413 is in

And the only one to fly on Apollo 13 is not wearing a hat.

And if you digitize the photo, then play the 1's and 0's backwards, it says "Paul is dead"...

Joel Katzowitz

... and the only guy wearing brown shoes used to live next door to my cousin. Really.

Steve Procter

And of course this is the original line up of the Foo Fighters...

...and if you digitize the photo you can see in the reflection of the bottom of the plane the Hollywood set...

Just started reading "Falling to Earth" so this photo interests me so much. Wonderful choice.

And the way most experienced pilot in the group didn't fly Apollo at all..!

I believe Bill Pogue, Stu Roosa and Ken Mattingly were also based at Edwards at that time.
